Daytona had always been one of my favorite events. it was pretty easy to navigate. Just roll down Main St. hit all the vendors pop into a couple of the bars lining the drag then putt over the bridge hand a right on Beach Street and hit up all rest of the vendors. Over the years the event has continually spread out across the city and even into other cities making for longer trips, more traffic and just less overall (for me at least). In recent years beach Street has become a shell of its former self with very few big or quality vendors and a lot of you jerky and trinket guys–pretty disappointing.

Well it seems as though people are startging to take notice and trying to revitalize the Beach Street area.
